The cable for the satellite radio box, and the box itself is located near the firewall above the brake pedal. The sat receiver is pancaked with the RF external amp. The amp is positioned closest to the firewall and the sat receiver is mounted below the amp. However, I believe the ipod adapter actually plugs into the rear of the HU (replacing the cable to the sat receiver) therefore its plug will not resemble or mate with the sat box connector under the dash.
